U-T San Diego columnist Matt Calkins says it’s time for the Padres to make moves that matter – on the field – while a number of fans are ready to jump off the bandwagon after a miserable two weeks, according to the latest mailbag.

In other off-the-field news, the Padres came to terms with top draft pick Hunter Renfroe, who might immediately slot in as the franchise’s top position player prospect. Also from U-T San Diego’s Padres notes: GM Josh Byrnes weighed in on the team’s losing streak and the Padres called up RHP Miles Mikolas and optioned RHP Tyson Ross to Triple-A Tucson, where he will be stretched out as a starting pitcher.
